Lord of all creation, We pray for the St. Catherine’s High School Community.

We ask that You walk with them in truth, so that they may stand for truth. We pray that You bless them, so that they may bless their community and live out the beatitudes. Remind them that their lives become praise to You, and praise for You through study, service, and prayer.

We ask that You make them strong so that they can go out and preach through their words, actions, and thoughts. We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
